Mounting Considerations
The XBee/XBee-PRO RF Module was designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and therefore does not require any soldering when mounting it to a board. The XBee Development Kits contain RS-232 and USB interface boards which use two 20-pin receptacles to receive modules. Figure102. XBeeModuleMountingtoanRS232InterfaceBoard.

The receptacles used on Digi development boards are manufactured by Century Interconnect. Several other manufacturers provide comparable mounting solutions; however, Digi currently uses the following receptacles: Through-hole single-row receptacles - Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV (or equivalent) Surface-mount double-row receptacles - Century Interconnect P/N: CPRMSL20-D-0-1 (or equivalent) Surface-mount single-row receptacles - Samtec P/N: SMM-110-02-SM-S Digi also recommends printing an outline of the module on the board to indicate the orientation the module should be mounted.

Design Notes
The XBee modules do not specifically require any external circuitry or specific connections for proper operation. However, there are some general design guidelines that are recommended for help in troubleshooting and building a robust design.

Power Supply Design


Poor power supply can lead to poor radio performance, especially if the supply voltage is not kept within tolerance or is excessively noisy. To help reduce noise, we recommend placing a 1.0 F and 8.2 pF capacitor as near as possible to pin 1 on the XBee. If using a switching regulator for the power supply, switching frequencies above 500 kHz are preferred. Power supply ripple should be limited to a maximum 100 mV peak to peak.

2012DigiInternatonal,Inc.

XBee/XBeePRORFModules802.15.4v1.xEx

Recommended Pin Connections


The only required pin connections are VCC, GND, DOUT and DIN. To support serial firmware updates, VCC, GND, DOUT, DIN, RTS, and DTR should be connected. All unused pins should be left disconnected. All inputs on the radio can be pulled high with internal pull-up resistors using the PR software command. No specific treatment is needed for unused outputs. Other pins may be connected to external circuitry for convenience of operation including the Associate LED pin (pin 15) and the commissioning button pin (pin 20). The Associate LED will flash differently depending on the state of the module, and a pushbutton attached to pin 20 can enable various deployment and troubleshooting functions without having to send UART commands. If analog sampling is desired, VRef (pin 14) should be attached to a voltage reference.

Board Layout
XBee modules are designed to be self sufficient and have minimal sensitivity to nearby processors, crystals or other PCB components. As with all PCB designs, Power and Ground traces should be thicker than signal traces and able to comfortably support the maximum current specifications. No other special PCB design considerations are required for integrating XBee radios except in the antenna section.

Antenna Performance
Antenna location is an important consideration for optimal performance. In general, antennas radiate and receive best perpendicular to the direction they point. Thus a vertical antenna's radiation pattern is strongest across the horizon. Metal objects near the antenna may impede the radiation pattern. Metal objects between the transmitter and receiver can block the radiation path or reduce the transmission distance, so antennas should be positioned away from them when possible. Some objects that are often overlooked are metal poles, metal studs or beams in structures, concrete (it is usually reinforced with metal rods), vehicles, elevators, ventilation ducts, refrigerators, microwave ovens, batteries, and tall electrolytic capacitors. If the XBee is to be placed inside a metal enclosure, an external antenna should be used. XBee units with the Embedded PCB Antenna should not be placed inside a metal enclosure or have any ground planes or metal objects above or below the antenna. For best results, place the XBee at the edge of the host PCB on which it is mounted. Ensure that the ground, power and signal planes are vacant immediately below the antenna section. Digi recommends allowing a keepout area, which is shown in detail on the next page.

2.RFModuleOperation
Serial Communications
The XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules interface to a host device through a logic-level asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communicate with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level translator to any serial device (For example: Through a Digi proprietary RS-232 or USB interface board).

UART Data Flow


Devices that have a UART interface can connect directly to the pins of the RF module as shown in the figure below. Figure201. SystemDataFlowDiagraminaUARTinterfacedenvironment (Lowassertedsignalsdistinguishedwithhorizontallineoversignalname.)

Serial Data Data enters the module UART through the DI pin (pin 3) as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal should idle high when no data is being transmitted. Each data byte consists of a start bit (low), 8 data bits (least significant bit first) and a stop bit (high). The following figure illustrates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the module. Figure202. UARTdatapacket0x1F(decimalnumber31)astransmittedthroughtheRFmodule ExampleDataFormatis8N1(bitsparity#ofstopbits)

Serial communications depend on the two UARTs (the microcontroller's and the RF module's) to be configured with compatible settings (baud rate, parity, start bits, stop bits, data bits). The UART baud rate and parity settings on the XBee module can be configured with the BD and NB commands, respectively. See the command table in Chapter 3 for details.

XBee/XBeePRORFModules802.15.4v1.xEx

Transparent Operation
By default, XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in Transparent Mode. When operating in this mode, the modules act as a serial line replacement - all UART data received through the DI pin is queued up for RF transmission. When RF data is received, the data is sent out the DO pin. Serial-to-RF Packetization Data is buffered in the DI buffer until one of the following causes the data to be packetized and transmitted: 1. 2. 3. No serial characters are received for the amount of time determined by the RO (Packetization Timeout) parameter. If RO = 0, packetization begins when a character is received. The maximum number of characters that will fit in an RF packet (100) is received. The Command Mode Sequence (GT + CC + GT) is received. Any character buffered in the DI buffer before the sequence is transmitted.

If the module cannot immediately transmit (for instance, if it is already receiving RF data), the serial data is stored in the DI Buffer. The data is packetized and sent at any RO timeout or when 100 bytes (maximum packet size) are received. If the DI buffer becomes full, hardware or software flow control must be implemented in order to prevent overflow (loss of data between the host and module).

API Operation
API (Application Programming Interface) Operation is an alternative to the default Transparent Operation. The frame-based API extends the level to which a host application can interact with the networking capabilities of the module. When in API mode, all data entering and leaving the module is contained in frames that define operations or events within the module. Transmit Data Frames (received through the DI pin (pin 3)) include: RF Transmit Data Frame Command Frame (equivalent to AT commands) Receive Data Frames (sent out the DO pin (pin 2)) include: RF-received data frame Command response Event notifications such as reset, associate, disassociate, etc. The API provides alternative means of configuring modules and routing data at the host application layer. A host application can send data frames to the module that contain address and payload information instead of using command mode to modify addresses. The module will send data frames to the application containing status packets; as well as source, RSSI and payload information from received data packets. The API operation option facilitates many operations such as the examples cited below: -> Transmitting data to multiple destinations without entering Command Mode -> Receive success/failure status of each transmitted RF packet -> Identify the source address of each received packet

To implement API operations, refer to API sections [p56].

Flow Control
Figure203. InternalDataFlowDiagram

DI (Data In) Buffer When serial data enters the RF module through the DI pin (pin 3), the data is stored in the DI Buffer until it can be processed. Hardware Flow Control (CTS). When the DI buffer is 17 bytes away from being full; by default, the module de-asserts CTS (high) to signal to the host device to stop sending data [refer to D7 (DIO7 Configuration) parameter]. CTS is re-asserted after the DI Buffer has 34 bytes of memory available. How to eliminate the need for flow control: 1. 2. Send messages that are smaller than the DI buffer size (202 bytes). Interface at a lower baud rate [BD (Interface Data Rate) parameter] than the throughput data rate.

Case in which the DI Buffer may become full and possibly overflow: If the module is receiving a continuous stream of RF data, any serial data that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in the DI buffer will be transmitted over-the-air when the module is no longer receiving RF data in the network.

Refer to the RO (Packetization Timeout), BD (Interface Data Rate) and D7 (DIO7 Configuration) command descriptions for more information. DO (Data Out) Buffer When RF data is received, the data enters the DO buffer and is sent out the serial port to a host device. Once the DO Buffer reaches capacity, any additional incoming RF data is lost. Hardware Flow Control (RTS). If RTS is enabled for flow control (D6 (DIO6 Configuration) Parameter = 1), data will not be sent out the DO Buffer as long as RTS (pin 16) is de-asserted. Two cases in which the DO Buffer may become full and possibly overflow: 1. 2. If the RF data rate is set higher than the interface data rate of the module, the module will receive data from the transmitting module faster than it can send the data to the host. If the host does not allow the module to transmit data out from the DO buffer because of being held off by hardware or software flow control.

Refer to the D6 (DIO6 Configuration) command description for more information.

I/O Data Format


I/O data begins with a header. The first byte of the header defines the number of samples forthcoming. The last 2 bytes of the header (Channel Indicator) define which inputs are active. Each bit represents either a DIO line or ADC channel. Figure204. Header

API Support
I/O data is sent out the UART using an API frame. All other data can be sent and received using Transparent Operation [refer to p12] or API framing if API mode is enabled (AP > 0). API Operations support two RX (Receive) frame identifiers for I/O data (set 16-bit address to 0xFFFE and the module will do 64-bit addressing): 0x82 for RX (Receive) Packet: 64-bit address I/O 0x83 for RX (Receive) Packet: 16-bit address I/O The API command header is the same as shown in the RX (Receive) Packet: 64-bit Address and RX (Receive) Packet: 16-bit Address API types [refer to p62]. RX data follows the format described in the I/O Data Format section [p14]. Applicable Commands: AP (API Enable)

Sleep Support
Automatic wakeup sampling can be suppressed by setting SO bit 1.When an RF module wakes, it will always do a sample based on any active ADC or DIO lines. This allows sampling based on the sleep cycle whether it be Cyclic Sleep (SM parameter = 4 or 5) or Pin Sleep (SM = 1 or 2). To gather more samples when awake, set the IR (Sample Rate) parameter. For Cyclic Sleep modes: If the IR parameter is set, the module will stay awake until the IT (Samples before TX) parameter is met. The module will stay awake for ST (Time before Sleep) time. Applicable Commands: IR (Sample Rate), IT (Samples before TX), SM (Sleep Mode), IC (DIO Change Detect), SO (Sleep Options)

DIO Pin Change Detect


When DIO Change Detect is enabled (using the IC command), DIO lines 0-7 are monitored. When a change is detected on a DIO line, the following will occur: 1. 2. An RF packet is sent with the updated DIO pin levels. This packet will not contain any ADC samples. Any queued samples are transmitted before the change detect data. This may result in receiving a packet with less than IT (Samples before TX) samples.

Note: Change detect will not affect Pin Sleep wake-up. The D8 pin (DTR/Sleep_RQ/DI8) is the only line that will wake a module from Pin Sleep. If not all samples are collected, the module will still enter Sleep Mode after a change detect packet is sent. Applicable Commands: IC (DIO Change Detect), IT (Samples before TX) NOTE: Change detect is only supported when the Dx (DIOx Configuration) parameter equals 3,4 or 5.

Sample Rate (Interval)


The Sample Rate (Interval) feature allows enabled ADC and DIO pins to be read periodically on modules that are not configured to operate in Sleep Mode. When one of the Sleep Modes is enabled and the IR (Sample Rate) parameter is set, the module will stay awake until IT (Samples before TX) samples have been collected. Once a particular pin is enabled, the appropriate sample rate must be chosen. The maximum sample rate that can be achieved while using one A/D line is 1 sample/ms or 1 KHz (Note that the modem will not be able to keep up with transmission when IR & IT are equal to 1 and that configuring the modem to sample at rates greater than once every 20ms is not recommended). Applicable Commands: IR (Sample Rate), IT (Samples before TX), SM (Sleep Mode)

When an RF data packet is received that contains I/O data, the receiving module can be setup to update any enabled outputs (PWM and DIO) based on the data it receives. Note that I/O lines are mapped in pairs. For example: AD0 can only update PWM0 and DI5 can only update DO5. The default setup is for outputs not to be updated, which results in the I/O data being sent out the UART (refer to the IU (Enable I/O Output) command). To enable the outputs to be updated, the IA (I/O Input Address) parameter must be setup with the address of the module that has the appropriate inputs enabled. This effectively binds the outputs to a particular modules input. This does not affect the ability of the module to receive I/O line data from other modules only its ability to update enabled outputs. The IA parameter can also be setup to accept I/O data for output changes from any module by setting the IA parameter to 0xFFFF. When outputs are changed from their non-active state, the module can be setup to return the output level to it non-active state. The timers are set using the Tn (Dn Output Timer) and PT (PWM Output Timeout) commands. The timers are reset every time a valid I/O packet (passed IA check) is received. The IC (Change Detect) and IR (Sample Rate) parameters can be setup to keep the output set to their active output if the system needs more time than the timers can handle. Note: DI8 cannot be used for I/O line passing. Applicable Commands: IA (I/O Input Address), Tn (Dn Output Timeout), P0 (PWM0 Configuration), P1 (PWM1 Configuration), M0 (PWM0 Output Level), M1 (PWM1 Output Level), PT (PWM Output Timeout), RP (RSSSI PWM Timer)

Configuration Example
As an example for a simple A/D link, a pair of RF modules could be set as follows: Remote Configuration DL = 0x1234 MY = 0x5678 D0 = 2 D1 = 2 IR = 0x14 IT = 5 Base Configuration DL = 0x5678 MY = 0x1234 P0 = 2 P1 = 2 IU = 1 IA = 0x5678 (or 0xFFFF)

These settings configure the remote module to sample AD0 and AD1 once each every 20 ms. It then buffers 5 samples each before sending them back to the base module. The base should then receive a 32-Byte transmission (20 Bytes data and 12 Bytes framing) every 100 ms.

XBee/XBee-PRO Networks
The following terms will be used to explicate the network operations: Table202. Term PAN Coordinator End Device Association Termsanddefinitions Definition Personal Area Network - A data communication network that includes one or more End Devices and optionally a Coordinator. A Full-function device (FFD) that provides network synchronization by polling nodes [NonBeacon (w/ Coordinator) networks only] When in the same network as a Coordinator - RF modules that rely on a Coordinator for synchronization and can be put into states of sleep for low-power applications. The establishment of membership between End Devices and a Coordinator. Association is only applicable in NonBeacon (w/Coordinator) networks.

Peer-to-Peer
By default, XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules are configured to operate within a Peer-to-Peer network topology and therefore are not dependent upon Master/Slave relationships. NonBeacon systems operate within a Peer-to-Peer network topology and therefore are not dependent upon Master/ Slave relationships. This means that modules remain synchronized without use of master/server configurations and each module in the network shares both roles of master and slave. Digi's peerto-peer architecture features fast synchronization times and fast cold start times. This default configuration accommodates a wide range of RF data applications. Figure206. PeertoPeerArchitecture

A peer-to-peer network can be established by configuring each module to operate as an End Device (CE = 0), disabling End Device Association on all modules (A1 = 0) and setting ID and CH parameters to be identical across the network.

NonBeacon (w/ Coordinator)


A device is configured as a Coordinator by setting the CE (Coordinator Enable) parameter to 1. Coordinator power-up is governed by the A2 (Coordinator Association) parameter. In a Coordinator system, the Coordinator can be configured to use direct or indirect transmissions. If the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter is set to 0, the Coordinator will send data immediately. Otherwise, the SP parameter determines the length of time the Coordinator will retain the data before discarding it. Generally, SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) and ST (Time before Sleep) parameters should be set to match the SP and ST settings of the End Devices.

Association
Association is the establishment of membership between End Devices and a Coordinator. The establishment of membership is useful in scenarios that require a central unit (Coordinator) to relay messages to or gather data from several remote units (End Devices), assign channels or assign PAN IDs. An RF data network that consists of one Coordinator and one or more End Devices forms a PAN (Personal Area Network). Each device in a PAN has a PAN Identifier [ID (PAN ID) parameter]. PAN IDs must be unique to prevent miscommunication between PANs. The Coordinator PAN ID is set using the ID (PAN ID) and A2 (Coordinator Association) commands. An End Device can associate to a Coordinator without knowing the address, PAN ID or channel of the Coordinator. The A1 (End Device Association) parameter bit fields determine the flexibility of an End Device during association. The A1 parameter can be used for an End Device to dynamically set its destination address, PAN ID and/or channel. For example: If the PAN ID of a Coordinator is known, but the operating channel is not; the A1 command on the End Device should be set to enable the Auto_Associate and Reassign_Channel bits. Additionally, the ID parameter should be set to match the PAN ID of the associated Coordinator. Coordinator / End Device Setup and Operation To configure a module to operate as a Coordinator, set the CE (Coordinator Enable) parameter to 1. Set the CE parameter of End Devices to 0 (default). Coordinator and End Devices should contain matching firmware versions. NonBeacon (w/ Coordinator) Systems The Coordinator can be configured to use direct or indirect transmissions. If the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter is set to 0, the Coordinator will send data immediately. Otherwise, the SP parameter determines the length of time the Coordinator will retain the data before discarding it. Generally, SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) and ST (Time before Sleep) parameters should be set to match the SP and ST settings of the End Devices. Coordinator Start-up Coordinator power-up is governed by the A2 (Coordinator Association) command. On power-up, the Coordinator undergoes the following sequence of events: 1. Check A2 parameter- Reassign_PANID Flag Set (bit 0 = 1) - The Coordinator issues an Active Scan. The Active Scan selects one channel and transmits a request to the broadcast address (0xFFFF) and broadcast PAN ID (0xFFFF). It then listens on that channel for beacons from any Coordinator operating on that channel. The listen time on each channel is determined by the SD (Scan Duration) parameter value. Once the time expires on that channel, the Active Scan selects another channel and again transmits the BeaconRequest as before. This process continues until all channels have been scanned, or until 5 PANs have been discovered. When the Active Scan is complete, the results include a list of PAN IDs and Channels that are being used by other PANs. This list is used to assign an unique PAN ID to the new Coordinator. The ID parameter will be retained if it is not found in the Active Scan results. Otherwise, the ID (PAN ID) parameter setting will be updated to a PAN ID that was not detected. Not Set (bit 0 = 0) - The Coordinator retains its ID setting. No Active Scan is performed.

XBee/XBeePRORFModules802.15.4v1.xEx
2. Check A2 parameter - Reassign_Channel Flag (bit 1) Set (bit 1 = 1) - The Coordinator issues an Energy Scan. The Energy Scan selects one channel and scans for energy on that channel. The duration of the scan is specified by the SD (Scan Duration) parameter. Once the scan is completed on a channel, the Energy Scan selects the next channel and begins a new scan on that channel. This process continues until all channels have been scanned. When the Energy Scan is complete, the results include the maximal energy values detected on each channel. This list is used to determine a channel where the least energy was detected. If an Active Scan was performed (Reassign_PANID Flag set), the channels used by the detected PANs are eliminated as possible channels. Thus, the results of the Energy Scan and the Active Scan (if performed) are used to find the best channel (channel with the least energy that is not used by any detected PAN). Once the best channel has been selected, the CH (Channel) parameter value is updated to that channel. Not Set (bit 1 = 0) - The Coordinator retains its CH setting. An Energy Scan is not performed. 3. Start Coordinator The Coordinator starts on the specified channel (CH parameter) and PAN ID (ID parameter). Note, these may be selected in steps 1 and/or 2 above. The Coordinator will only allow End Devices to associate to it if the A2 parameter AllowAssociation flag is set. Once the Coordinator has successfully started, the Associate LED will blink 1 time per second. (The LED is solid if the Coordinator has not started.) 4. Coordinator Modifications Once a Coordinator has started: Modifying the A2 (Reassign_Channel or Reassign_PANID bits), ID, CH or MY parameters will cause the Coordinators MAC to reset (The Coordinator RF module (including volatile RAM) is not reset). Changing the A2 AllowAssociation bit will not reset the Coordinators MAC. In a nonbeaconing system, End Devices that associated to the Coordinator prior to a MAC reset will have knowledge of the new settings on the Coordinator. Thus, if the Coordinator were to change its ID, CH or MY settings, the End Devices would no longer be able to communicate with the nonbeacon Coordinator. Once a Coordinator has started, the ID, CH, MY or A2 (Reassign_Channel or Reassign_PANID bits) should not be changed. End Device Start-up End Device power-up is governed by the A1 (End Device Association) command. On power-up, the End Device undergoes the following sequence of events: 1. Check A1 parameter - AutoAssociate Bit Set (bit 2 = 1) - End Device will attempt to associate to a Coordinator. (refer to steps 2-3). Not Set (bit 2 = 0) - End Device will not attempt to associate to a Coordinator. The End Device will operate as specified by its ID, CH and MY parameters. Association is considered complete and the Associate LED will blink quickly (5 times per second). When the AutoAssociate bit is not set, the remaining steps (2-3) do not apply. 2. Discover Coordinator (if Auto-Associate Bit Set) The End Device issues an Active Scan. The Active Scan selects one channel and transmits a BeaconRequest command to the broadcast address (0xFFFF) and broadcast PAN ID (0xFFFF). It then listens on that channel for beacons from any Coordinator operating on that channel. The listen time on each channel is determined by the SD parameter. Once the time expires on that channel, the Active Scan selects another channel and again transmits the BeaconRequest command as before. This process continues until all channels have been scanned, or until 5 PANs have been discovered. When the Active Scan is complete, the results include a list of PAN IDs and Channels that are being used by detected PANs.

The End Device selects a Coordinator to associate with according to the A1 parameter Reassign_PANID and Reassign_Channel flags: Reassign_PANID Bit Set (bit 0 = 1)- End Device can associate with a PAN with any ID value. Reassign_PANID Bit Not Set (bit 0 = 0) - End Device will only associate with a PAN whose ID setting matches the ID setting of the End Device. Reassign_Channel Bit Set (bit 1 = 1) - End Device can associate with a PAN with any CH value. Reassign_Channel Bit Not Set (bit 1 = 0)- End Device will only associate with a PAN whose CH setting matches the CH setting of the End Device. After applying these filters to the discovered Coordinators, if multiple candidate PANs exist, the End Device will select the PAN whose transmission link quality is the strongest. If no valid Coordinator is found, the End Device will either go to sleep (as dictated by its SM (Sleep Mode) parameter) or retry Association. Note - An End Device will also disqualify Coordinators if they are not allowing association (A2 AllowAssociation bit); or, if the Coordinator is not using the same NonBeacon scheme as the End Device. (They must both be programmed with NonBeacon code.) 3. Associate to Valid Coordinator Once a valid Coordinator is found (step 2), the End Device sends an AssociationRequest message to the Coordinator. It then waits for an AssociationConfirmation to be sent from the Coordinator. Once the Confirmation is received, the End Device is Associated and the Associate LED will blink rapidly (2 times per second). The LED is solid if the End Device has not associated. 4. End Device Changes once an End Device has associated Changing A1, ID or CH parameters will cause the End Device to disassociate and restart the Association procedure. If the End Device fails to associate, the AI command can give some indication of the failure.

XBee/XBee-PRO Addressing
Every RF data packet sent over-the-air contains a Source Address and Destination Address field in its header. The RF module conforms to the 802.15.4 specification and supports both short 16-bit addresses and long 64-bit addresses. A unique 64-bit IEEE source address is assigned at the factory and can be read with the SL (Serial Number Low) and SH (Serial Number High) commands. Short addressing must be configured manually. A module will use its unique 64-bit address as its Source Address if its MY (16-bit Source Address) value is 0xFFFF or 0xFFFE. To send a packet to a specific module using 64-bit addressing: Set the Destination Address (DL + DH) of the sender to match the Source Address (SL + SH) of the intended destination module. To send a packet to a specific module using 16-bit addressing: Set DL (Destination Address Low) parameter to equal the MY parameter of the intended destination module and set the DH (Destination Address High) parameter to '0'.

Unicast Mode
By default, the RF module operates in Unicast Mode. Unicast Mode is the only mode that supports retries. While in this mode, receiving modules send an ACK (acknowledgement) of RF packet reception to the transmitter. If the transmitting module does not receive the ACK, it will re-send the packet up to three times or until the ACK is received. Short 16-bit addresses. The module can be configured to use short 16-bit addresses as the Source Address by setting (MY < 0xFFFE). Setting the DH parameter (DH = 0) will configure the Destination Address to be a short 16-bit address (if DL < 0xFFFE). For two modules to communicate using short addressing, the Destination Address of the transmitter module must match the MY parameter of the receiver. The following table shows a sample network configuration that would enable Unicast Mode communications using short 16-bit addresses. Table203. SampleUnicastNetworkConfiguration(using16bitaddressing) RF Module 1 0x01 0 0x02 RF Module 2 0x02 0 0x01 Parameter MY (Source Address) DH (Destination Address High) DL (Destination Address Low)

Long 64-bit addresses. The RF modules serial number (SL parameter concatenated to the SH parameter) can be used as a 64-bit source address when the MY (16-bit Source Address) parameter is disabled. When the MY parameter is disabled (MY = 0xFFFF or 0xFFFE), the modules source address is set to the 64-bit IEEE address stored in the SH and SL parameters. When an End Device associates to a Coordinator, its MY parameter is set to 0xFFFE to enable 64bit addressing. The 64-bit address of the module is stored as SH and SL parameters. To send a packet to a specific module, the Destination Address (DL + DH) on the sender must match the Source Address (SL + SH) of the desired receiver.

Broadcast Mode
Any RF module within range will accept a packet that contains a broadcast address. When configured to operate in Broadcast Mode, receiving modules do not send ACKs (Acknowledgements) and transmitting modules do not automatically re-sent packets as is the case in Unicast Mode. To send a broadcast packet to all modules regardless of 16-bit or 64-bit addressing, set the destination addresses of all the modules as shown below. Sample Network Configuration (All modules in the network): DL (Destination Low Address) = 0x0000FFFF IfRRissetto0,onlyonepacketisbroadcast.IfRR>0,(RR+2)packetsaresentineachbroadcast.Noacknowl edgementsarereturned.SeealsotheRRcommanddescription.

Modes of Operation
XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in five modes. Figure207. ModesofOperation

Idle Mode
When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF module is in Idle Mode. The module shifts into the other modes of operation under the following conditions: Transmit Mode (Serial data is received in the DI Buffer) Receive Mode (Valid RF data is received through the antenna) Sleep Mode (Sleep Mode condition is met) Command Mode (Command Mode Sequence is issued)

Transmit/Receive Modes
RF Data Packets Each transmitted data packet contains a Source Address and Destination Address field. The Source Address matches the address of the transmitting module as specified by the MY (Source Address) parameter (if MY >= 0xFFFE), the SH (Serial Number High) parameter or the SL (Serial Number Low) parameter. The <Destination Address> field is created from the DH (Destination Address High) and DL (Destination Address Low) parameter values. The Source Address and/or Destination Address fields will either contain a 16-bit short or long 64-bit long address. The RF data packet structure follows the 802.15.4 specification. [Refer to the XBee/XBee-PRO Addressing section for more information] Direct and Indirect Transmission There are two methods to transmit data: Direct Transmission - data is transmitted immediately to the Destination Address Indirect Transmission - A packet is retained for a period of time and is only transmitted after the destination module (Source Address = Destination Address) requests the data. Indirect Transmissions can only occur on a Coordinator. Thus, if all nodes in a network are End Devices, only Direct Transmissions will occur. Indirect Transmissions are useful to ensure packet delivery to a sleeping node. The Coordinator currently is able to retain up to 2 indirect messages.

2012DigiInternatonal,Inc.

22

XBee/XBeePRORFModules802.15.4v1.xEx
Direct Transmission A Coordinator can be configured to use only Direct Transmission by setting the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter to "0". Also, a Coordinator using indirect transmissions will revert to direct transmission if it knows the destination module is awake. To enable this behavior, the ST (Time before Sleep) value of the Coordinator must be set to match the ST value of the End Device. Once the End Device either transmits data to the Coordinator or polls the Coordinator for data, the Coordinator will use direct transmission for all subsequent data transmissions to that module address until ST time occurs with no activity (at which point it will revert to using indirect transmissions for that module address). "No activity" means no transmission or reception of messages with a specific address. Global messages will not reset the ST timer. Indirect Transmission To configure Indirect Transmissions in a PAN (Personal Area Network), the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter value on the Coordinator must be set to match the longest sleep value of any End Device. The sleep period value on the Coordinator determines how long (time or number of beacons) the Coordinator will retain an indirect message before discarding it. An End Device must poll the Coordinator once it wakes from Sleep to determine if the Coordinator has an indirect message for it. For Cyclic Sleep Modes, this is done automatically every time the module wakes (after SP time). For Pin Sleep Modes, the A1 (End Device Association) parameter value must be set to enable Coordinator polling on pin wake-up. Alternatively, an End Device can use the FP (Force Poll) command to poll the Coordinator as needed. CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) Prior to transmitting a packet, a CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) is performed on the channel to determine if the channel is available for transmission. The detected energy on the channel is compared with the CA (Clear Channel Assessment) parameter value. If the detected energy exceeds the CA parameter value, the packet is not transmitted. Also, a delay is inserted before a transmission takes place. This delay is able to be set using the RN (Backoff Exponent) parameter. If RN is set to 0, then there is no delay before the first CCA is performed. The RN parameter value is the equivalent of the minBE parameter in the 802.15.4 specification. The transmit sequence follows the 802.15.4 specification. By default, the MM (MAC Mode) parameter = 0. On a CCA failure, the module will attempt to resend the packet up to two additional times. When in Unicast packets with RR (Retries) = 0, the module will execute two CCA retries. Broadcast packets always get two CCA retries. Acknowledgement If the transmission is not a broadcast message, the module will expect to receive an acknowledgement from the destination node. If an acknowledgement is not received, the packet will be resent up to 3 more times. If the acknowledgement is not received after all transmissions, an ACK failure is recorded.

Sleep Mode
Sleep Modes enable the RF module to enter states of low-power consumption when not in use. In order to enter Sleep Mode, one of the following conditions must be met (in addition to the module having a non-zero SM parameter value): Sleep_RQ (pin 9) is asserted and the module is in a pin sleep mode (SM = 1, 2, or 5) The module is idle (no data transmission or reception) for the amount of time defined by the ST (Time before Sleep) parameter. [NOTE: ST is only active when SM = 4-5.] Table204. SleepModeConfigurations Transition out of Sleep Mode (wake) Characteristics Related Power Commands Consumption (SM) < 10 A (@3.0 VCC) < 50 A

Sleep Mode Transition into Setting Sleep Mode Pin Hibernate (SM = 1) Pin Doze (SM = 2) Assert (high) Sleep_RQ (pin 9) Assert (high) Sleep_RQ (pin 9) Automatic transition to Sleep Mode as defined by the SM (Sleep Mode) and ST (Time before Sleep) parameters.

Module also wakes on a falling edge of SLEEP_RQ

Cyclic Sleep (SM = 4)

< 50 A when sleeping

Cyclic Sleep (SM = 5)

< 50 A when sleeping

The SM command is central to setting Sleep Mode configurations. By default, Sleep Modes are disabled (SM = 0) and the module remains in Idle/Receive Mode. When in this state, the module is constantly ready to respond to serial or RF activity. Pin/Host-controlled Sleep Modes The transient current when waking from pin sleep (SM = 1 or 2) does not exceed the idle current of the module. The current ramps up exponentially to its idle current. Pin Hibernate (SM = 1) Pin/Host-controlled Typical power-down current: < 10 A (@3.0 VCC) Typical wake-up time: 10.2 msec Pin Hibernate Mode minimizes quiescent power (power consumed when in a state of rest or inactivity). This mode is voltage level-activated; when Sleep_RQ (pin 9) is asserted, the module will finish any transmit, receive or association activities, enter Idle Mode, and then enter a state of sleep. The module will not respond to either serial or RF activity while in pin sleep. To wake a sleeping module operating in Pin Hibernate Mode, de-assert Sleep_RQ (pin 9). The module will wake when Sleep_RQ is de-asserted and is ready to transmit or receive when the CTS line is low. When waking the module, the pin must be de-asserted at least two 'byte times' after CTS goes low. This assures that there is time for the data to enter the DI buffer. Pin Doze (SM = 2) Pin/Host-controlled Typical power-down current: < 50 A Typical wake-up time: 2.6 msec Pin Doze Mode functions as does Pin Hibernate Mode; however, Pin Doze features faster wake-up time and higher power consumption. To wake a sleeping module operating in Pin Doze Mode, de-assert Sleep_RQ (pin 9). The module will wake when Sleep_RQ is de-asserted and is ready to transmit or receive when the CTS line is

low. When waking the module, the pin must be de-asserted at least two 'byte times' after CTS goes low. This assures that there is time for the data to enter the DI buffer. Cyclic Sleep Modes Cyclic Sleep Remote (SM = 4) Typical Power-down Current: < 50 A (when asleep) Typical wake-up time: 2.6 msec The Cyclic Sleep Modes allow modules to periodically check for RF data. When the SM parameter is set to 4, the module is configured to sleep, then wakes once a cycle to check for data from a module configured as a Cyclic Sleep Coordinator (SM = 0, CE = 1). The Cyclic Sleep Remote sends a poll request to the coordinator at a specific interval set by the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter. The coordinator will transmit any queued data addressed to that specific remote upon receiving the poll request. If no data is queued for the remote, the coordinator will not transmit and the remote will return to sleep for another cycle. If queued data is transmitted back to the remote, it will stay awake to allow for back and forth communication until the ST (Time before Sleep) timer expires. Also note that CTS will go low each time the remote wakes, allowing for communication initiated by the remote host if desired. Cyclic Sleep Remote with Pin Wake-up (SM = 5) Use this mode to wake a sleeping remote module through either the RF interface or by the deassertion of Sleep_RQ for event-driven communications. The cyclic sleep mode works as described above (Cyclic Sleep Remote) with the addition of a pin-controlled wake-up at the remote module. The Sleep_RQ pin is edge-triggered, not level-triggered. The module will wake when a low is detected then set CTS low as soon as it is ready to transmit or receive. Any activity will reset the ST (Time before Sleep) timer so the module will go back to sleep only after there is no activity for the duration of the timer. Once the module wakes (pin-controlled), further pin activity is ignored. The module transitions back into sleep according to the ST time regardless of the state of the pin. [Cyclic Sleep Coordinator (SM = 6)] Typical current = Receive current Always awake NOTE: The SM=6 parameter value exists solely for backwards compatibility with firmware version 1.x60. If backwards compatibility with the older firmware version is not required, always use the CE (Coordinator Enable) command to configure a module as a Coordinator. This mode configures a module to wake cyclic sleeping remotes through RF interfacing. The Coordinator will accept a message addressed to a specific remote 16 or 64-bit address and hold it in a buffer until the remote wakes and sends a poll request. Messages not sent directly (buffered and requested) are called "Indirect messages". The Coordinator only queues one indirect message at a time. The Coordinator will hold the indirect message for a period 2.5 times the sleeping period indicated by the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter. The Coordinator's SP parameter should be set to match the value used by the remotes.

Command Mode
To modify or read RF Module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode - a state in which incoming characters are interpreted as commands. Two Command Mode options are supported: AT Command Mode [refer to section below] and API Command Mode [p56]. AT Command Mode To Enter AT Command Mode: Send the 3-character command sequence +++ and observe guard times before and after the command characters. [Refer to the Default AT Command Mode Sequence below.] Default AT Command Mode Sequence (for transition to Command Mode): No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] Input three plus characters (+++) within one second [CC (Command Sequence Character) parameter = 0x2B.] No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] All of the parameter values in the sequence can be modified to reflect user preferences. NOTE: Failure to enter AT Command Mode is most commonly due to baud rate mismatch. Ensure the Baud setting on the PC Settings tab matches the interface data rate of the RF module. By default, the BD parameter = 3 (9600 bps). To Send AT Commands: Send AT commands and parameters using the syntax shown below. Figure208.SyntaxforsendingATCommands

To read a parameter value stored in the RF modules register, omit the parameter field. The preceding example would change the RF module Destination Address (Low) to 0x1F. To store the new value to non-volatile (long term) memory, subsequently send the WR (Write) command. For modified parameter values to persist in the modules registry after a reset, changes must be saved to non-volatile memory using the WR (Write) Command. Otherwise, parameters are restored to previously saved values after the module is reset. System Response. When a command is sent to the module, the module will parse and execute the command. Upon successful execution of a command, the module returns an OK message. If execution of a command results in an error, the module returns an ERROR message. To Exit AT Command Mode: 1. 2. Send the ATCN (Exit Command Mode) command (followed by a carriage return). [OR] If no valid AT Commands are received within the time specified by CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command, the RF module automatically returns to Idle Mode.

For an example of programming the RF module using AT Commands and descriptions of each configurable parameter, refer to the RF Module Configuration chapter [p27].

Programming Examples
Setup The programming examples in this section require the installation of Digi's X-CTU Software and a serial connection to a PC. (Digi stocks RS-232 and USB boards to facilitate interfacing with a PC.) 1. 2. 3. Install Digi's X-CTU Software to a PC by double-clicking the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file. (The file is located on the Digi CD and www.digi.com/xctu.) Mount the RF module to an interface board, then connect the module assembly to a PC. Launch the X-CTU Software and select the 'PC Settings' tab. Verify the baud and parity settings of the Com Port match those of the RF module.

NOTE: Failure to enter AT Command Mode is most commonly due to baud rate mismatch. Ensure the Baud setting on the PC Settings tab matches the interface data rate of the RF module. By default, the BD parameter = 3 (which corresponds to 9600 bps).

Remote Configuration Commands


The API firmware has provisions to send configuration commands to remote devices using the Remote Command Request API frame (see API Operation). This API frame can be used to send commands to a remote module to read or set command parameters. The API firmware has provisions to send configuration commands (set or read) to a remote module using the Remote Command Request API frame (see API Operations). Remote commands can be issued to read or set command parameters on a remote device.

Sending a Remote Command


To send a remote command, the Remote Command Request frame should be populated with values for the 64 bit and 16 bit addresses. If 64 bit addressing is desired then the 16 bit address field should be filled with 0xFFFE. If any value other than 0xFFFE is used in the 16 bit address field then the 64 bit address field will be ignored and 16 bit addressing will be used. If a command response is desired, the Frame ID should be set to a non-zero value.

Applying Changes on Remote


When remote commands are used to change command parameter settings on a remote device, parameter changes do not take effect until the changes are applied. For example, changing the BD parameter will not change the actual serial interface rate on the remote until the changes are applied. Changes can be applied using remote commands in one of three ways: Set the apply changes option bit in the API frame Issue an AC command to the remote device Issue a WR + FR command to the remote device to save changes and reset the device.

Remote Command Responses


If the remote device receives a remote command request transmission, and the API frame ID is non-zero, the remote will send a remote command response transmission back to the device that sent the remote command. When a remote command response transmission is received, a device sends a remote command response API frame out its UART. The remote command response indicates the status of the command (success, or reason for failure), and in the case of a command query, it will include the register value. The device that sends a remote command will not receive a remote command response frame if: The destination device could not be reached The frame ID in the remote command request is set to 0.

Command Reference Tables


XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules expect numerical values in hexadecimal. Hexadecimal values are designated by a 0x prefix. Decimal equivalents are designated by a d suffix. Commands are contained within the following command categories (listed in the order that their tables appear): Special Networking & Security RF Interfacing Sleep (Low Power) Serial Interfacing I/O Settings Diagnostics AT Command Options All modules within a PAN should operate using the same firmware version.

AC (Apply Changes) Command <AT Command Mode Options> The AC command AT Command: ATAC is used to explicitly apply changes to module Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0 parameter values. Applying changes means that the module is re-initialized based on changes made to its parameter values. Once changes are applied, the module immediately operates according to the new parameter values. This behavior is in contrast to issuing the WR (Write) command. The WR command saves parameter values to non-volatile memory, but the module still operates according to previously saved values until the module is re-booted or the CN (Exit AT Command Mode) command is issued. Refer to the AT Command - Queue Parameter Value API type for more information. AI (Association Indication) Command <Networking {Association}> The AI command is used to indicate occurrences of errors during the last association request.

NOTE: Refer the scan table in the SD description to determine scan times. If using API Mode, no <CR>s are returned in the response. Refer to the API Mode Operation section. BD (Interface Data Rate) Command <Serial Interfacing> The BD command is used to set and read the serial interface data rate used between the RF module and host. This parameter determines the rate at which serial data is sent to the module from the host. Modified interface data rates do not take effect until the CN (Exit AT Command Mode) command is issued and the system returns the 'OK' response. When parameters 0-7 are sent to the module, the respective interface data rates are used (as shown in the table on the right). The RF data rate is not affected by the BD parameter. If the interface data rate is set higher than the RF data rate, a flow control configuration may need to be implemented. AT Command: ATBD Parameter Range:0 - 7 (standard rates) 0x80-0x3D090 (non-standard rates up to 250 Kbps) Parameter 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Configuration (bps) 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200

Default Parameter Value:3 Non-standard Interface Data Rates: Any value above 0x07 will be interpreted as an actual baud rate. When a value above 0x07 is sent, the closest interface data rate represented by the number is stored in the BD register. For example, a rate of 19200 bps can be set by sending the following command line "ATBD4B00". NOTE: When using Digis X-CTU Software, non-standard interface data rates can only be set and read using the X-CTU Terminal tab. Non-standard rates are not accessible through the Modem Configuration tab. When the BD command is sent with a non-standard interface data rate, the UART will adjust to accommodate the requested interface rate. In most cases, the clock resolution will cause the stored BD parameter to vary from the parameter that was sent (refer to the table below). Reading the BD command (send "ATBD" command without an associated parameter value) will return the value actually stored in the modules BD register. ParametersSentVersusParametersStored BD Parameter Sent (HEX) 0 4 7 12C 1C200 Interface Data Rate (bps) 1200 19,200 115,200* 300 115,200 BD Parameter Stored (HEX) 0 4 7 12B 1B207

* The 115,200 baud rate setting is actually at 111,111 baud (-3.5% target UART speed). CA (CCA Threshold) Command <RF Interfacing> CA command is used to set and read CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) thresholds. Prior to transmitting a packet, a CCA is performed to detect energy on the transmit channel. If the detected energy is above the CCA Threshold, the RF module will not transmit the packet. AT Command: ATCA Parameter Range: 0 - 0x50 [-dBm] Default Parameter Value: 0x2C (-44 decimal dBm) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80

CC (Command Sequence Character) Command <AT Command Mode Options> The CC command is used to set and read the ASCII character used between guard times of the AT Command Mode Sequence (GT + CC + GT). This sequence enters the RF module into AT Command Mode so that data entering the module from the host is recognized as commands instead of payload. AT Command: ATCC Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF Default Parameter Value: 0x2B (ASCII +) Related Command: GT (Guard Times)

The AT Command Sequence is explained further in the AT Command Mode section. CE (Coordinator Enable) Command <Networking {Association} The CE command is used to set and read the behavior (End Device vs. Coordinator) of the RF module. AT Command: ATCE Parameter Range:0 - 1 Parameter 0 1 Default Parameter Value:0 Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80 CH (Channel) Command <Networking {Addressing}> The CH command is used to set/read the operating channel on which RF connections are made between RF modules. The channel is one of three addressing options available to the module. The other options are the PAN ID (ID command) and destination addresses (DL & DH commands). AT Command: ATCH Parameter Range: 0x0B - 0x1A (XBee) 0x0C - 0x17 (XBee-PRO) Default Parameter Value: 0x0C (12 decimal) Related Commands: ID (PAN ID), DL (Destination Address Low, DH (Destination Address High) Configuration End Device Coordinator

In order for modules to communicate with each other, the modules must share the same channel number. Different channels can be used to prevent modules in one network from listening to transmissions of another. Adjacent channel rejection is 23 dB. The module uses channel numbers of the 802.15.4 standard. Center Frequency = 2.405 + (CH - 11d) * 5 MHz (d = decimal) Refer to the XBee/XBee-PRO Addressing section for more information. CN (Exit Command Mode) Command <AT Command Mode Options> The CN command is used to explicitly exit the RF module from AT Command Mode. CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command <AT Command Mode Options> The CT command is used to set and read the amount of inactive time that elapses before the RF module automatically exits from AT Command Mode and returns to Idle Mode. Use the CN (Exit Command Mode) command to exit AT Command Mode manually. AT Command: ATCT Parameter Range:2 - 0xFFFF [x 100 milliseconds] Default Parameter Value: 0x64 (100 decimal (which equals 10 decimal seconds)) Number of bytes returned: 2 Related Command: CN (Exit Command Mode) AT Command: ATCN

The data is returned through the UART. When operating in Transparent Mode (AP=0), the data is retuned in the following format: All bytes are converted to ASCII: number of samples<CR> channel mask<CR> DIO data<CR> (If DIO lines are enabled<CR> ADC channel Data<cr> <-This will repeat for every enabled ADC channel<CR> <CR> (end of data noted by extra <CR>) When operating in API mode (AP > 0), the command will immediately return an OK response. The data will follow in the normal API format for DIO data. IT (Samples before TX) Command <I/O Settings> The IT command is used to set/ read the number of DIO and ADC samples to collect before transmitting data. AT Command: ATIT Parameter Range: 1 - 0xFF AT Command: ATIS Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0

Default Parameter Value:1 One ADC sample is considered complete when all Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0 enabled ADC channels have been read. The module can buffer up to 93 Bytes of sample data. Since the module uses a 10-bit A/D converter, each sample uses two Bytes. This leads to a maximum buffer size of 46 samples or IT=0x2E. When Sleep Modes are enabled and IR (Sample Rate) is set, the module will remain awake until IT samples have been collected.

IU (I/O Output Enable) Command <I/O Settings> The IU command is used to disable/enable I/O UART output. When enabled (IU = 1), received I/O line data packets are sent out the UART. The data is sent using an API frame regardless of the current AP parameter value. AT Command: ATIU Parameter Range:0 - 1 Parameter 0 Configuration Disabled Received I/O line data packets will be NOT sent out UART. Enabled Received I/O line data will be sent out UART

Default Parameter Value:1 Minimum Firmware Version Required: 1.xA0 KY (AES Encryption Key) Command <Networking {Security}> The KY command is used to set the 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key for encrypting/decrypting data. Once set, the key cannot be read out of the module by any means. AT Command: ATKY Parameter Range:0 - (any 16-Byte value) Default Parameter Value:0 Related Command: EE (Encryption Enable)

Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0 The entire payload of the packet is encrypted using the key and the CRC is computed across the ciphertext. When encryption is enabled, each packet carries an additional 16 Bytes to convey the random CBC Initialization Vector (IV) to the receiver(s). The KY value may be 0 or any 128-bit value. Any other value, including entering KY by itself with no parameters, is invalid. All ATKY entries (valid or not) are received with a returned 'OK'. A module with the wrong key (or no key) will receive encrypted data, but the data driven out the serial port will be meaningless. A module with a key and encryption enabled will receive data sent from a module without a key and the correct unencrypted data output will be sent out the serial port. Because CBC mode is utilized, repetitive data appears differently in different transmissions due to the randomly-generated IV. When queried, the system will return an OK message and the value of the key will not be returned. M0 (PWM0 Output Level) Command <I/O Settings> The M0 command is used to set the output level of the PWM0 line (pin 6). Before setting the line as an output: 1. Enable PWM0 output (P0 = 2) 2. Apply settings (use CN or AC) The PWM period is 64 sec and there are 0x03FF (1023 decimal) steps within this period. When M0 = 0 (0% PWM), 0x01FF (50% PWM), 0x03FF (100% PWM), etc. M1 (PWM1 Output Level) Command <I/O Settings> The M1 command is used to set the output level of the PWM1 line (pin 7). Before setting the line as an output: 1. Enable PWM1 output (P1 = 2) 2. Apply settings (use CN or AC) AT Command: ATM1 Parameter Range:0 - 0x03FF Default Parameter Value:0 Related Commands: P1 (PWM1 Enable), AC (Apply Changes), CN (Exit Command Mode) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0 AT Command: ATM0 Parameter Range:0 - 0x03FF [steps] Default Parameter Value:0 Related Commands: P0 (PWM0 Enable), AC (Apply Changes), CN (Exit Command Mode) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0

MM (MAC Mode) Command <Networking {Addressing}> The MM command is used to set and read the MAC Mode value. The MM command disables/enables the use of a Digi header contained in the 802.15.4 RF packet. By default (MM = 0), Digi Mode is enabled and the module adds an extra header to the data portion of the 802.15.4 packet. This enables the following features: ND and DN command support Duplicate packet detection when using ACKs "RR command "DIO/AIO sampling support AT Command: ATMM Parameter Range:0 - 3 Parameter 0 1 2 3 Configuration Digi Mode (802.15.4 + Digi header) 802.15.4 (no ACKs) 802.15.4 (with ACKs) Digi Mode (no ACKs)

Default Parameter Value:0 Related Commands: ND (Node Discover), DN (Destination Node)

The MM command allows users to turn off the use Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80 of the extra header. Modes 1 and 2 are strict 802.15.4 modes. If the Digi header is disabled, ND and DN parameters are also disabled. Note: When MM=1 or 3, MAC and CCA failure retries are not supported. MY (16-bit Source Address) Command <Networking {Addressing}> The MY command is used to set and read the 16-bit source address of the RF module. By setting MY to 0xFFFF, the reception of RF packets having a 16-bit address is disabled. The 64-bit address is the modules serial number and is always enabled. NB (Parity) Command <Serial Interfacing> The NB command is used to select/read the parity settings of the RF module for UART communications. Note: the module does not actually calculate and check the parity; it only interfaces with devices at the configured parity and stop bit settings.

ND (Node Discover) Command <Networking {Identification}> The ND command is used to discover and report all modules on its current operating channel (CH parameter) and PAN ID (ID parameter). ND also accepts an NI (Node Identifier) value as a parameter. In this case, only a module matching the supplied identifier will respond. AT Command: ATND Range: optional 20-character NI value Related Commands: CH (Channel), ID (Pan ID), MY (Source Address), SH (Serial Number High), SL (Serial Number Low), NI (Node Identifier), NT (Node Discover Time)

Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80 ND uses a 64-bit long address when sending and responding to an ND request. The ND command causes a module to transmit a globally addressed ND command packet. The amount of time allowed for responses is determined by the NT (Node Discover Time) parameter. In AT Command mode, command completion is designated by a carriage return (0x0D). Since two carriage returns end a command response, the application will receive three carriage returns at the end of the command. If no responses are received, the application should only receive one carriage return. When in API mode, the application should receive a frame (with no data) and status (set to OK) at the end of the command. When the ND command packet is received, the remote sets up a random time delay (up to 2.2 sec) before replying as follows: Node Discover Response (AT command mode format - Transparent operation): MY (Source Address) value<CR> SH (Serial Number High) value<CR> SL (Serial Number Low) value<CR> DB (Received Signal Strength) value<CR> NI (Node Identifier) value<CR> <CR> (This is part of the response and not the end of command indicator.) Node Discover Response (API format - data is binary (except for NI)): 2 bytes for MY (Source Address) value 4 bytes for SH (Serial Number High) value 4 bytes for SL (Serial Number Low) value 1 byte for DB (Received Signal Strength) value NULL-terminated string for NI (Node Identifier) value (max 20 bytes w/out NULL terminator) NI (Node Identifier) Command <Networking {Identification}> The NI command is used to set and read a string for identifying a particular node. Rules: Register only accepts printable ASCII data. A string can not start with a space. A carriage return ends command Command will automatically end when maximum bytes for the string have been entered. This string is returned as part of the ND (Node Discover) command. This identifier is also used with the DN (Destination Node) command. NO (Node Discover Options) Command <Networking {Identification}> The NO command is used to suppress/include a self-response to Node Discover commands. When NO=1 a module doing a Node Discover will include a response entry for itself. AT Command: ATNO Parameter Range: "0-1 Related Commands: ND (Node Discover), DN (Destination Node) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xC5 AT Command: ATNI Parameter Range: 20-character ASCII string Related Commands: ND (Node Discover), DN (Destination Node) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80

NT (Node Discover Time) Command <Networking {Identification}> The NT command is used to set the amount of time a base node will wait for responses from other nodes when using the ND (Node Discover) command. The NT value is transmitted with the ND command. AT Command: ATNT Parameter Range: 0x01 - 0xFC [x 100 msec] Default: 0x19 (2.5 decimal seconds)

Related Commands: ND (Node Discover) Remote nodes will set up a random hold-off time Minimum Firmware Version Required: 1.xA0 based on this time. The remotes will adjust this time down by 250 ms to give each node the ability to respond before the base ends the command. Once the ND command has ended, any response received on the base will be discarded. P0 (PWM0 Configuration) Command <I/O Setting {I/O Line Passing}> The P0 command is used to select/read the function for PWM0 (Pulse Width Modulation output 0). This command enables the option of translating incoming data to a PWM so that the output can be translated back into analog form. With the IA (I/O Input Address) parameter correctly set, AD0 values can automatically be passed to PWM0. AT Command: ATP0 The second character in the command is the number zero (0), not the letter O. Parameter Range: 0 - 2 Parameter 0 1 2 Default Parameter Value: 1 P1 (PWM1 Configuration) Command <I/O Setting {I/O Line Passing}> The P1 command is used to select/read the function for PWM1 (Pulse Width Modulation output 1). This command enables the option of translating incoming data to a PWM so that the output can be translated back into analog form. With the IA (I/O Input Address) parameter correctly set, AD1 values can automatically be passed to PWM1. AT Command: ATP1 Parameter Range: 0 - 2 Parameter 0 1 2 Default Parameter Value: 0 Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.xA0 Configuration Disabled RSSI PWM1 Output Configuration Disabled RSSI PWM0 Output

PL (Power Level) Command <RF Interfacing> The PL command is used to select and read the power level at which the RF module transmits conducted power. When operating in Europe, XBee-PRO 802.15.4 modules must operate at or below a transmit power output level of 10dBm. Customers have 2 choices for transmitting at or below 10dBm: Order the standard XBeePRO module and change the PL command to "0" (10dBm), Order the Japan variant of the XBee-PRO module, which has a maximum transmit output power of 10dBm.

For example: Sending the command ATPR 6F will turn bits 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 ON; and bits 4 & 7 will be turned OFF. (The binary equivalent of 0x6F is 01101111. Note that bit 0 is the last digit in the bitfield. PT (PWM Output Timeout) Command <I/O Settings {I/O Line Passing}> The PT command is used to set/read the output timeout value for both PWM outputs. When PWM is set to a non-zero value: Due to I/O line passing, a time is started which when expired will set the PWM output to zero. The timer is reset when a valid I/O packet is received. RE (Restore Defaults) Command <(Special)> The RE command is used to restore AT Command: ATRE all configurable parameters to their factory default settings. The RE command does not write restored values to non-volatile (persistent) memory. Issue the WR (Write) command subsequent to issuing the RE command to save restored parameter values to non-volatile memory. RN (Random Delay Slots) Command <Networking & Security> The RN command is used to set and read the minimum value of the back-off exponent in the CSMA-CA algorithm. The CSMA-CA algorithm was engineered for collision avoidance (random delays are inserted to prevent data loss caused by data collisions). AT Command: ATRN Parameter Range: 0 - 3 [exponent] Default Parameter Value: 0 AT Command: ATPT Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF [x 100 msec] Default Parameter Value: 0xFF Minimum Firmware Version Required: 1.xA0

If RN = 0, collision avoidance is disabled during the first iteration of the algorithm (802.15.4 macMinBE). CSMA-CA stands for "Carrier Sense Multiple Access - Collision Avoidance". Unlike CSMA-CD (reacts to network transmissions after collisions have been detected), CSMA-CA acts to prevent data collisions before they occur. As soon as a module receives a packet that is to be transmitted, it checks if the channel is clear (no other module is transmitting). If the channel is clear, the packet is sent over-the-air. If the channel is not clear, the module waits for a randomly selected period of time, then checks again to see if the channel is clear. After a time, the process ends and the data is lost.

RO (Packetization Timeout) Command <Serial Interfacing> RO command is used to set and read the number of character times of intercharacter delay required before transmission. AT Command: ATRO Parameter Range:0 - 0xFF [x character times]

RF transmission commences when data is Default Parameter Value: 3 detected in the DI (data in from host) buffer and RO character times of silence are detected on the UART receive lines (after receiving at least 1 byte).

RF transmission will also commence after 100 Bytes (maximum packet size) are received in the DI buffer. Set the RO parameter to '0' to transmit characters as they arrive instead of buffering them into one RF packet. RP (RSSI PWM Timer) Command <I/O Settings {I/O Line Passing}> The RP comAT Command: ATRP mand is used to enable PWM (Pulse Width ModuParameter Range:0 - 0xFF lation) output on the RF module. The output is [x 100 msec] calibrated to show the level a received RF signal is Default Parameter Value: 0x28 (40 decimal) above the sensitivity level of the module. The PWM pulses vary from 24 to 100%. Zero percent means PWM output is inactive. One to 24% percent means the received RF signal is at or below the published sensitivity level of the module. The following table shows levels above sensitivity and PWM values. The total period of the PWM output is 64 s. Because there are 445 steps in the PWM output, the minimum step size is 144 ns. PWMPercentages dB above Sensitivity 10 20 30 PWM percentage (high period / total period) 41% 58% 75%

A non-zero value defines the time that the PWM output will be active with the RSSI value of the last received RF packet. After the set time when no RF packets are received, the PWM output will be set low (0 percent PWM) until another RF packet is received. The PWM output will also be set low at power-up until the first RF packet is received. A parameter value of 0xFF permanently enables the PWM output and it will always reflect the value of the last received RF packet. RR (XBee Retries) Command <Networking {Addressing}> The RR command is used to set/read the maximum number of retries the module will execute in addition to the 3 retries provided by the 802.15.4 MAC. For each XBee retry, the 802.15.4 MAC can execute up to 3 retries. AT Command: ATRR Parameter Range: 0 - 6 Default: 0 Minimum Firmware Version Required: 1.xA0

The following applies when the DL parameter is set to 0xFFFF: If RR is set to zero (RR = 0), only one packet is broadcast. If RR is set to a value greater than zero (RR > 0), (RR + 2) packets are sent on each broadcast. No acknowledgements are returned on a broadcast. This value does not need to be set on all modules for retries to work. If retries are enabled, the transmitting module will set a bit in the Digi RF Packet header which requests the receiving module to send an ACK (acknowledgement). If the transmitting module does not receive an ACK within 200 msec, it will re-send the packet within a random period up to 48 msec. Each XBee retry can potentially result in the MAC sending the packet 4 times (1 try plus 3 retries). Note that retries are not attempted for packets that are purged when transmitting with a Cyclic Sleep Coordinator.

SD (Scan Duration) Command <Networking {Association}> The SD command is used to set and read the exponent value that determines the duration (in time) of a scan. End Device (Duration of Active Scan during Association) - In a Beacon system, set SD = BE of the Coordinator. SD must be set at least to the highest BE parameter of any Beaconing Coordinator with which an End Device or Coordinator wish to discover. AT Command: ATSD Parameter Range: 0 - 0x0F Default Parameter Value: 4 Related Commands: ED (Energy Scan), SC (Scan Channel) Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80

Coordinator - If the ReassignPANID option is set on the Coordinator [refer to A2 parameter], the SD parameter determines the length of time the Coordinator will scan channels to locate existing PANs. If the ReassignChannel option is set, SD determines how long the Coordinator will perform an Energy Scan to determine which channel it will operate on. Scan Time is measured as ((# of Channels to Scan) * (2 ^ SD) * 15.36ms). The number of channels to scan is set by the SC command. The XBee RF Module can scan up to 16 channels (SC = 0xFFFF). The XBee PRO RF Module can scan up to 12 channels (SC = 0x1FFE). Examples:Valuesbelowshowresultsfora12channelscan If SD = 0, time = 0.18 sec SD = 2, time = 0.74 sec SD = 4, time = 2.95 sec SD = 6, time = 11.80 sec SD = 8, time = 47.19 sec SD = 10, time = 3.15 min SD = 12, time = 12.58 min SD = 14, time = 50.33 min

A module configured in a sleep mode with ADC/DIO sampling enabled will automatically perform a sampling on wakeup. 1 - Suppress sample on wakeup. A module configured in a sleep mode with ADC/DIO sampling enabled will not automatically sample on wakeup. SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) Command <Sleep Mode (Low Power)> The SP command is used to set and read the duration of time in which a remote RF module sleeps. After the cyclic sleep period is over, the module wakes and checks for data. If data is not present, the module goes back to sleep. The maximum sleep period is 268 seconds (SP = 0x68B0). The SP parameter is only valid if the module is configured to operate in Cyclic Sleep (SM = 4-6). Coordinator and End Device SP values should always be equal. To send Direct Messages, set SP = 0. NonBeacon Firmware End Device - SP determines the sleep period for cyclic sleeping remotes. Maximum sleep period is 268 seconds (0x68B0). Coordinator - If non-zero, SP determines the time to hold an indirect message before discarding it. A Coordinator will discard indirect messages after a period of (2.5 * SP).

Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFF [read only] XBee version numbers will have four significant digits. The reported number will show three or four numbers and is stated in hexadecimal notation. A version can be reported as "ABC" or "ABCD". Digits ABC are the main release number and D is the revision number from the main release. "D" is not required and if it is not present, a zero is assumed for D. "B" is a variant designator. The following variants exist: "0" = Non-Beacon Enabled 802.15.4 Code "1" = Beacon Enabled 802.15.4 Code WR (Write) Command <(Special)> The WR command is used to write AT Command: ATWR configurable parameters to the RF module's nonvolatile memory. Parameter values remain in the module's memory until overwritten by subsequent use of the WR Command. If changes are made without writing them to non-volatile memory, the module reverts back to previously saved parameters the next time the module is powered-on. NOTE: Once the WR command is sent to the module, no additional characters should be sent until after the OK/r response is received.

API Operation
By default, XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules act as a serial line replacement (Transparent Operation) - all UART data received through the DI pin is queued up for RF transmission. When the module receives an RF packet, the data is sent out the DO pin with no additional information. Inherent to Transparent Operation are the following behaviors: If module parameter registers are to be set or queried, a special operation is required for transitioning the module into Command Mode. In point-to-multipoint systems, the application must send extra information so that the receiving module(s) can distinguish between data coming from different remotes. As an alternative to the default Transparent Operation, API (Application Programming Interface) Operations are available. API operation requires that communication with the module be done through a structured interface (data is communicated in frames in a defined order). The API specifies how commands, command responses and module status messages are sent and received from the module using a UART Data Frame.

API Frame Specifications


Two API modes are supported and both can be enabled using the AP (API Enable) command. Use the following AP parameter values to configure the module to operate in a particular mode: AP = 0 (default): Transparent Operation (UART Serial line replacement) API modes are disabled. AP = 1: API Operation AP = 2: API Operation (with escaped characters) Any data received prior to the start delimiter is silently discarded. If the frame is not received correctly or if the checksum fails, the data is silently discarded. API Operation (AP parameter = 1) When this API mode is enabled (AP = 1), the UART data frame structure is defined as follows: Figure309. UARTDataFrameStructure:

Data bytes that need to be escaped: 0x7E Frame Delimiter 0x7D Escape 0x11 XON 0x13 XOFF Example - Raw UART Data Frame (before escaping interfering bytes): 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x11 0xCB 0x11 needs to be escaped which results in the following frame: 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x7D 0x31 0xCB Note: In the above example, the length of the raw data (excluding the checksum) is 0x0002 and the checksum of the non-escaped data (excluding frame delimiter and length) is calculated as: 0xFF - (0x23 + 0x11) = (0xFF - 0x34) = 0xCB. Checksum To test data integrity, a checksum is calculated and verified on non-escaped data. To calculate: Not including frame delimiters and length, add all bytes keeping only the lowest 8 bits of the result and subtract from 0xFF. To verify: Add all bytes (include checksum, but not the delimiter and length). If the checksum is correct, the sum will equal 0xFF.
